Hobbies

What I do outside code: Path of Exile and a lot of web novels, manhwa and manga.

Path of Exile

Cover of Path of Exile

It's the game I've put the most into: 2,000+ hours.

How it went

  • 3.14: my first league. I stopped at act 9.
  • 3.16: reached maps, without getting far.
  • 3.17: the league I played the most and the first time I reached endgame, with a Spark aura stacker Templar (Melding of the Flesh, Aegis Aurora).
  • After that, mostly Templar and Deadeye builds.

Favorite builds

  • Energy Blade Templar, in Cast on Critical Strike and self-cast variants.
  • Tri-attribute stacking Miner.
  • Crackling Lance Assassin in 3.29, at 80M DPS.

The game also became a project, still in progress: an assistant that answers PoE questions using the wiki as its source, comparing a small model + RAG against a frontier model + web search.
